noooooo ! not my city !

Just yesterday I tried to post a response to several Omg, Texas is so scary comments in response to my last post. All well deserved.
But blogger wouldn't let me for some unknown reason(and it's still acting extremely bratty this morning).Until you come to my chosen city, Austin, is what I wanted to comment until blogger wouldn't let me for some reason Because unlike most of the rest of red, rural Texas, Austin stands as a shining, beckoning royal blue of liberal mindedness, inviting one and all, white, black, asian, hispanic, muslim, buddhist, athiest, left wing, left-of-center wing, and yes, even right wing.

So right now I'm trying to decide how to respond. Tonight, after I see the live music planned for several weeks now, I could head to Bud's street with some lighter fluid and a blow torch and instigate a rope burning.

Or I can just go home like a peaceful little shrink and let good ole' boy Bud have his right to free speech like our constitution guarantees and the oft bashed ACLU helps defend.

I feel your pain. I was sickened by the guys who hung Sarah Palin in effigy in Southern California during the last election cycle. And not because I wanted that ticket to win, but because misogyny sucks...as does racism.

Everyone should back down - when you demonize people personally, you've taken a dangerous step. I know that you're ultimately a measured and sensible person. Maybe you could offer Bud a cup of coffee someday and find out what his issues are.

Here in Southern California, on my daily commute between the People's Republic of Santa Monica and Hippy-Dippy Topanga where I live, I routinely encounter a large Hummer with several hateful anti-Obama bumper stickers. When I pull up beside him at a light, he just looks like a regular person. What's his story, I always wonder?
